A kitchen built for the moments that matter
Private Chef started in a Parkhurst home kitchen with a simple promise: food that looks like care, served on time, for people who don't have the luxury of a second chance.

Twelve years, four cities, one obsession
Trained in Cape Town and Cape Town's finest hotel groups before opening Private Chef in Joburg in 2018. Every menu starts with what's in season at the local markets and ends with a plate you'd be proud to send to your most important client.
We keep the team small on purpose. You speak to the chef. You taste before you commit. And on the day, the same hands that planned your event are the ones in your kitchen.
A standard you can hold us to
Certified kitchen, R638 compliant. Cold chain monitored end to end.
Free range, line caught and locally grown wherever the season allows.
On site team in branded chef whites. Service captain on every event.
We arrive 90 minutes before service. Every time. No exceptions.
